How do you guys utilize VAs to make your lives easier and leverage your time? I'm juggling two full time jobs at companies I either co-founded or co-own as a partner. I would love to get way more done, maybe even start a third project on my own without a partner but I barely get through the day with the two jobs I have without feeling completely burned out at the end of the day. A while ago, I asked on this forum how you get so much stuff done. The answer was: VAs. Fair enough, so I hired a VA, gave it three months and still didn't feel any different. If anything, it felt like I had more to do as I had to train the VA and often times, the results of the VA's work was not satisfactory so I ended up cleaning up the work or re-doing it myself completely. I have local staff but that staff is very specialized (and therefore expensive), plus I live in one of the most expensive cities in North America, which also means my cost of hiring locally is super high. I would feel bad having my expensive, specialized staff do any of the more mundane work. They do the stuff I am not capable of doing due to lack of skill. Long story short, I want to find out how you guys utilize VAs. What kind of tasks do you let them handle and how do you train them to make sure the work gets done well enough? Also, do you have recommendations for VAs? Not looking for VAs or VA companies to reply to this threat advertising their service. I want to hear from entrepreneurs who are working with VAs and let me know which ones they would recommend.
That way i can control many things plus teaching that way is easy.
